RE: Winner announcement for the "Guess the dog breed" giveaway!
There is a big problem here with ex greyhound racers, god knows what hsppens to half of them if they dont win races. Luckily its not quite as popular a sport these days so the problem of retired dogs isnt as bad but there are still a number of charities dedicated just to homing greyhounds. Many years ago there was whippet racing too but I dont think there is any more. You have greyhound racing there ?
Oh, I didn't even think of that. We don't have much racing here, since it's illegal to bet money on them. So the greyhound and whippet racing is pretty much just done by the dog community for fun. Luckily we have very little problems with people abandoning dogs here in Norway, but that might be because purebreds tend to cost $2,000+. We have a huge problem with people who abandon cats though!
